We understand your concern and heartache for the situation in the Middle East, and we join you in praying for peace in the region. Let us turn to God's Word for guidance and comfort.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that God desires peace and justice among all people. In Romans 12:18, it is written, "If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, be at peace with all men." Moreover, God's heart is for all people, as stated in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Regarding the actions of individuals or nations, it is essential to remember that God holds everyone accountable for their deeds. Romans 14:12 states, "So then each one of us will give account of himself to God." This accountability extends to all people, including those who are part of God's chosen people, the Israelites.
In response to your question, God does not condone or overlook injustice and innocent bloodshed. In fact, throughout the Bible, we see God's displeasure with such actions. In Proverbs 6:16-17, it is written, "Here are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood."
Let us pray for the Middle East, for both Israelis and Palestinians, that God's peace and justice would prevail:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your intervention in the Middle East. We pray for peace and an end to the violence that has claimed so many lives. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and healing for those who have lost loved ones. We pray that both Israelis and Palestinians would turn to You, seeking Your will and guidance. Lord, we know that You desire justice and righteousness, and we ask that You would move in the hearts of leaders and individuals to bring about change. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we must remember the centrality of Jesus Christ in our prayers and lives. It is through His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
